EFFECT OF BUOYANCY FORCES ON MASS TRANSFER COOLING. Technical Report 25

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4171603
The constant property, laminar boundary layer equations with free convection and mass transfer were considered. Similar solutions were found to be possible for blowing rate distributions varying as the distance from the leading edge, raised to the power (n-- 1/4) where n is the exponent in a power law surface temperature distribution. Solutions were obtained for the equations in the form of skin friction and heat transfer parameters. Velocity and temperature profiles were determined for the constant wall temperature case for a fluid with Pr = 0.73. The cases considered ranged from strong suction to strong blowing. Mass transfer had a pronounced effect on the heat transfer but only a slight effect on the skin friction. In light of the solutions presented, these effects were shown to be physically rational.
